Default speaking of stupid commercials

Tin Cup:


There's no such thing as "mountain whiskey" and no group of guys brings a glass bottle of whiskey along as they go rock climbing.

The new "Craving" commercials from Jack in the Box.
Jack crashes his vehicle through the wall and literally destroys the family game room.
Why is that funny to some people?
Who is going to pay for all the damage?

Years ago I ran across a full page ad in Popular Mechanics/Popular Science for a talking alarm clock. The illustration of the clock showed a few hours difference in the time announced and the time displayed. It also claimed to announce the time "with a slight Japanese accent". I wish I could find a copy of that ad.

How about a commercial ON Direct TV advertising specials for new customers? If your not already a customer you will never see this commercial.

We had a camera that did that - it was a very pronounced accent: "Tooo dahk - yuuse frash"

Remember the taking car, " You door is ajar" ?

Default Stupid commercials or commercials for the Stupid ?

In the last similr thread I omitted to mention my most hated ads :

1. Online Gambling.

2. Loan sharks.

Why are these gangsters allowed to advertise their criminal acts ?

How many stupid people do you get in a bunch?

Just did.

I signed up with BoatUS for water towing, and they were pitching their boat insurance at a good rate, so I signed up. I then immediately got a "welcome aboard" e-mail from Geico! Oh well, at least it was so easy that a caveman could have done it.

I love the Geico ads. Not the Gecko so much, but the others.
